1.0 OBJECTIVE
This document summarizes qualification test results and inter-mating performance of BergStak® connectors
and Tyco Free Height Connectors based on the requirements of the FCI BergStak® Product Specification.
These tests were completed by an independent test laboratory contracted by FCI.
2.0 SCOPE
This summary includes results of qualification testing for each FCI/Tyco inter-mating combination.
Connectors in the test plan represent commercially available products. 40 position and 120 position
connectors were used. All connectors mated with a PCB stack height of 5mm. FCI BergStak® Receptacle
and Plug contact interfaces were plated with 30 µ” GXT, while Tyco Receptacle and Plug were plated with 30
µ” Au.
An inter-mating study was performed using the following sequence per revision B of Product Specification
GS-12-547:
• Group 2, Vibration and Mechanical Shock Sequence
o FCI Plug mated to Tyco Receptacle (Section 6.1.1)
o Tyco Plug mated to FCI Receptacle (Section 6.1.2)
• Group 3, Mating/Un-mating force with Durability Sequence
o FCI Plug mated to Tyco Receptacle (Section 6.2.1)
o Tyco Plug mated to FCI Receptacle (Section 6.2.2)
• Group 7, Thermal Shock, Cyclic Humidity & Temperature Sequence
o FCI Plug mated to Tyco Receptacle (Section 6.3.1)
o Tyco Plug mated to FCI Receptacle (Section 6.3.2)
• Group 8, Temperature Life Sequence
o FCI Plug mated to Tyco Receptacle (Section 6.4.1)
o Tyco Plug mated to FCI Receptacle (Section 6.4.2)
3.0 CONCLUSION
The test results indicate that FCI to Tyco inter-mating performance meets the requirement of FCI product
specification, applicable to the full test sequence scope specified in section 2.0.
